Farrah Abraham is not thrilled that her mom, Debra Danielsen, recently did several appearances on the podcast of Catelynn Lowell‘s brother Nick and mom April, and now the Backdoor Teen Mom is speaking out about it!
During a new interview with the Legally Goff Podcast, Farrah addressed the live interviews, in which Debra spoke about her estranged relationship with Farrah and Farrah’s daughter Sophia. (During one Live, Farrah called being cut off from her granddaughter Sophia her “biggest heartbreak.”)
The Big F claimed she was not happy to find out her mother was working with Catelynn’s relatives— whom she described as “a family who goes out of their way to insert themselves into my life and hate on me.”
Farrah stated that her doctors and “success team” (Um?) are “mind-boggled as to why my mom continues to act like a sociopath.”
“Just having the education and the words now, to know, like, ‘Hey, if you’re acting like a sociopath, then that is what you are,'” Farrah said. “‘You’re no longer my mom. That has taken you over and I really hope that you get some help for that.”
Farrah then directly addressed her rap superstar mother.
“Go find your own identity outside of your daughters’ and people hating your daughter and [you’re] joining in that,” Farrah said. “And I will never do that to my own child.”
Farrah said she mourns the loss of the relationship with her mom.
“She’s alive but she, like, kills the relationship,” she said.
Earlier in the podcast, Farrah spoke about how “toxic” her relationship with Debra was and stated that she caught a lot of flak for “mistreating” her parents on ‘Teen Mom.’
“I understand that people hate me for doing something great [and breaking the cycle of abuse] and it’s really changed my family since,” she said. “A lot of trauma bonds have stopped. A lot of abuse stopped.”
When Farrah was asked if she thinks Deb understand the role she played in making Farrah’s life as a teen mom hard, Farrah said she doesn’t think Debra is capable of comprehending that.
“I don’t think my mom has the capacity to understand or admit or take any accountability,” Farrah said. “I don’t think she was born with that capacity.”
Farrah went on to say that Debra allowed her own mother to do some of her mothering for her. (Farrah’s half-sister Ashley was raised primarily by Debra’s parents, and Farrah has stated her grandma helped raise her as well.)
“I think she wanted to re-act some of that out in some ways with my daughter,” Farrah stated. “And I think that was, very much, a boundary-breaker for me. Because she also couldn’t admit what she was doing to me as her own daughter.
“At times she would be, like, sometimes trying to have my daughter call her ‘Mom’ when she’s a grandma,” Farrah continued.
“It starting getting very troublesome to me. I also didn’t think that it was fair or right for the [MTV] cameras to act like I wasn’t present as a mom,” Farrah said. “[They would have] my dad or my mom say I need to be around or I need to take care of my child, more of those things. Especially when I was paying them to take care of her at times.”
Farrah went on to say her parents didn’t respect when she was having a mental health crisis and needed a break.
“The [film] crew ended up getting me on suicide watch and getting me a doctor,” she claimed. “My parents never did.”
Farrah claimed that she is grateful that she and her mother appeared on several “therapy” shows, such as ‘Marriage Boot Camp: Family Edition’ because it showed her who her mother really is.
“I learned more about my mom after I became famous,” she said.
